Communications agency d-artagnan is a young and inspiring agency with a lot of well-known names on its portfolio. For 4 years in a row, they have provided the concept and design of the magazine. Each time a pleasure for the eye thanks to light-hearted literature and full focus on the beautiful structures. The uniqueness of our collaboration? It was one of the first times we were able to use LE UV, a printing process that completely fits into ION’s climate-friendly vision!

About LE UV:

LE UV stands for Low Energy UV and is an extremely fast, efficient and durable offset printing press. This keeps_{CO2 emissions} down and remarkably reduces the insertion loss (= the paper needed to set up the printing press). In addition, LE UV allows you to work at lightning speed: ink adhesion and drying are many times faster than with a conventional printing press, which also seriously reduces the risk of wet ink. Therefore, it is also ideal for printing on highly absorbent papers without using a lot of ink. In addition, the colors are brighter than if the paper partially absorbed the ink.

About paper:

Communications agency d-artagnan chose the paper itself: Soporset Premium Offset, a choice we can only applaud. This is a matte uncoated paper that brings out the intensity of colors and photos beautifully. Especially on a technical level, this paper stands out. It features high opacity, outstanding structure and extreme whiteness. Characteristics that help ensure that the images are printed without loss of quality, something that is absolutely no mean feat on a grained paper.
